Hi. Anyone on here familiar with GC Loader and Swiss for GameCube? I have a file-related question. Thanks.

I'm with @chrisgpackham.bsky.social.

Not literally. He's not sitting next to me. I mean I agree with his stance on hunting.

I must confess, I'm finding Secret of Mana quite underwhelming so far. I had high hopes for it, considering it features on many 'best of' lists. I'm hoping it improves soon.

He clearly misunderstood. Someone needs to explain to Trump that a president should be RAISING the profile of the White House, not RAZING it.

If rumours are true, he doesn't need that much room for his balls.

I wish hackers would stop making the assumption that players want quality of life changes included in their translated ROMs. Some of us just want to play a faithful translation of the original. QoL changes should be optional, not mandatory.

Trump isn't bright enough to realise that his MAGA bullshit doesn't work on intelligent people like those at the UN.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump used to think Sharia Law was a porn star.

I see TV executives have approached Kimmel and had a deep and meaningful conversation about the $4 billion revenue Disney has lost.

Remember that brief moment on Bluesky when everyone defected from Threads and people actually responded to your posts?

What a wonderful suite The Ninth Wave is. It's up there alongside the Abbey Road medley for me.

"When I was a boy, I used to obsessively put all my computer games in alphabetical order and catalogue them by year of release and publishing house."

"On the spectrum?"

"No, I had a Commodore."

Thank you for the lack of response. I worked it out anyway.

Hi. Anyone on here modded a GBA with an FP rechargeable battery? Just wondered if the white plastic wire connector slides into the PCB slot or is pushed in from above. Having difficulty getting it to connect, and it comes with no instructions.

I leant more towards Grunge at the time, but yes, when you're younger, you don't always realise what you're listening to.

Also, lazy lyrics that use the same word(s) to end successive lines.

For example, Madonna's Vogue:
'Don't just stand there
Let's get to it.
Strike a pose, there's nothing to it.'

Also, Common People:

'Well, what else could I do?
I said, "I'll see what I can do."'

Not the lyrics, but the context.
